I saw the eldest princess happily running back to the dormitory, changing into light clothes, and waving to Qingya and her sister before going out, and she left happily. But my sister looked at her sister's back and was stunned, and asked Qingya: "Grandma, do you think, sister, she seems to be smiling." ”

Qingya also felt unnatural in her heart, but she didn't want the little princess to think about it, so she said with a smile: "Young Master Qiu is back, it's too late for the princess to be happy, how can she force a smile." You must be the same as the Queen Mother, reluctant to marry the princess, so you have a lot of worries. ”

Xiang Qin was worried, and smiled perfunctorily: "Maybe that's the case, but the imperial grandmother is not reluctant to marry her sister, but she is reluctant to marry a non-person." ”

Let's say that when Xiang Yuan went out, he met Shen Yun who was about to leave the palace after running an errand, he had been in and out of this palace at will since he was a child, and no one treated him as an outsider. But in Xiang Yuan's memory, Shen Yun really rarely stays in the palace, it seems that the relationship is intimate, brotherly and sisterly, or the queen mother's deep love for licking calves, but the palace has always been very good at controlling the distance between the monarch and the ministers, but when it comes to Xiang Yuan and Shen Yun, it seems that everything doesn't matter.

Shen Yun saw that Yuan Yuan went out of the palace directly from this gate, and he knew where he was going without asking, he didn't want to ask anything for fear that Yuan Yuan would be uncomfortable, but the eldest princess took the initiative to come forward and asked him: "Sister Fang Cai is here, I'm afraid that she will be worried about the inconvenience of asking you, Shen Yun, do you know about the matter over there in Pingshan?" ”

"What do you want to ask?"

The light in Xiang Yuan's eyes was faint and weak, as if she was weak, she asked: "Did the assassin appear later, did there be any news, there was no news in the palace, I guess it was fine, but my heart was not steady." ”

But Shen Yun gave her a powerful and affirmative answer: "The assassin has never appeared again, if the imperial uncle is in Pingshan, the assassin still dares to appear, what face do my father and I have to face the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, the imperial grandmother and you?" ”

"Really...... Didn't show up again? But the princess did not seem very happy.

Shen Yun couldn't figure out her mind for a while, so he only said, "Of course I won't lie to you." ”

However, there was a layer of paper between them, Shen Yun knew what Xiang Yuan was worried about, but Xiang Yuan felt that others didn't understand her mind, she smiled and didn't say anything more, leaving Shen Yun and running away.

The carriage outside the imperial city sent the princess directly to the lively city gate, so the moat suspension bridge was repaired, and the soldiers guarding the city came forward to guide and ordered the carriage to change to the west gate and leave.

Xiang Yuan's attendant showed the princess token, and the soldiers hurriedly reported to the city gate, and several ministers and generals were going to come to salute, but when they saw the attendant hurriedly running, they respectfully said to everyone: "The princess only sees Lord Qiu alone." ”

Everyone had a clear smile on their faces, but Qiu Jingxuan was calm and generous, resigned from his colleagues, and went to the carriage with the attendant.

The princess in the carriage could see through the gap in the curtain that the familiar figure was approaching her unhurriedly, and the closer she got closer, the more confused her heart became.

In the past few days, her heart has been entangled repeatedly, she thought that she could be calm and even ruthless, but when she saw him, how could she suddenly become unimportant again, she could not care about anything, between heaven and earth, she was satisfied with him.

"Chen Qiu Jingxuan, see the princess." When people got under the car, Qiu Jing saluted, if it was in the past, Yuan Yuan would have jumped out of the carriage and talked happily to him, but today it was in order, Yuan Yuan guessed that this smart person would definitely have thoughts about herself, but she didn't even care about it, and said through the curtain, "There are many ministers there, let them look weird and embarrassed, you get on the horse and come with me, we will go out of the city from the west gate, I have been holding back in the palace for several days, and I want to go out to breathe." ”

Qiu Jingxuan said: "Can the princess go first, there are still a few things that the ministers can't put down at this time, the wood that is easy to find, can't be called a craftsman to waste, this is a project that will affect the next few decades and hundreds of years, the emperor's meaning, and he doesn't want to waste manpower and financial resources in the future to repeatedly renovate." ”

"It seems that I didn't come at the right time......" The sentence was a little disappointed, but Xiang Yuan didn't even lift the curtain, I don't know if he was afraid that he would see Qiu Jingxuan clearly, or if he was afraid that Qiu Jingxuan would see himself clearly, "Then I'll wait for you outside the West Gate, you come earlier." ”

"Yes."

A simple conversation, the groom quickly got the order, drove the princess's carriage to turn around and ran to the west city gate, Qiu Jingxuan stopped to watch, until the carriage disappeared from sight, then turned back to the city gate to continue to supervise the fortifications with others, a few good people asked him why he didn't go to the princess's invitation, Qiu Jingxuan always smiled faintly and didn't speak.

When looking at the successful completion of the moat suspension bridge at the east gate, the craftsmen and soldiers packed up their things to rush to another gate, it was late today, and the construction will start tomorrow, Qiu Jingxuan quietly resigned from everyone, one person and one horse went out from the east gate along the moat, directly around the west gate.

There was a turbulent river outside the west gate, and the water and grass on the bank were abundant, and the princess's carriage was parked aside, and the palace guards all stopped by the carriage, and the princess sat alone on the big stone on the bank, and the west slanting sun fell on her, and a circle of lonely light was fainted on her body.

Qiu Jingxuan handed over his horse to the princess's attendant, and slowly walked towards her, and there was grass and trees everywhere, and no matter how he walked, there would be footsteps, and Xiang Yuan quickly realized that someone was coming behind him.

got up and smiled slightly, but until Qiu Jingxuan was in front of her, she didn't know what she wanted to say or what to say, but suddenly, Qiu Jingxuan took her hand, held her hand in the palm of her hand, and asked worriedly: "How long have you been sitting here, summer has not come, isn't it cold to sit like this?" ”

This is not the first time that hand to hand contact, but it is the first time that Xiang Yuan's heart is pounding, Qiu Jingxuan let go of his hand as he spoke, took off his coat, and draped it on the princess's shoulders with his body temperature and breath.

Xiang Yuan is indeed cold, sitting motionless by the river, it is a moment of hard work will be cold on her back, and she can't remember how long she has been sitting here, this time, her body seems to have recovered, the smile on her face has become more natural, she said coquettishly: "I miss you, you have been away from Beijing quietly for a few days, why don't you tell me?" ”

Qiu Jingxuan said: "The sudden order from the Ministry of Industry is very urgent. ”

In Xiang Yuan's eyes, there was only room for this one person, and the entanglements of the past few days seemed to have disappeared, and he said domineeringly: "No matter what happens next time, tell me, don't let me think about you every day." ”

The gentle man nodded with a smile: "I wrote it down, and I'll tell you next time no matter what." ”

Xiang Yuan took his hand: "Walk with me by the river, and when the sun sets there, we will go back to the city." ”

Qiu Jingxuan followed Yuan Yuan's wishes, accompanied her to walk along the river, talked about the experience of leaving Beijing, talked about how difficult it was for them to find wood, no matter how big or small, together with the food they ate on the road, they also told Yuan Yuan vividly, and even more said that they brought back interesting things for Yuan Yuan, and they didn't bring them with them at home, and they were sent to the palace when they were gone.

The sun moved westward, stretching their pairs longer and longer, and the guards here stopped motionless by the carriage, looking at the princess and Qiu Jingxuan from afar, someone couldn't help but laugh: "I heard that the ladies of the noble family have never seen a few men in their lives, and the marriage is the order of their parents, and it is already a candle night in the cave room when they meet, but our princess doesn't have to care about these etiquette rules at all, and she even holds hands with Lord Qiu." ”

Another person laughed: "The emperor and the queen mother are in the palace, by the Taiye Pond or in the imperial garden, they can be seen walking hand in hand, teaching by word and deed, in the eyes of the princess, this is not necessarily a big deal." ”

Everyone couldn't help but sigh: "The queen mother, what a different character." ”

Soon, the sun set, Yuan Yuan did not miss the comfort outside the city too much, and returned to the imperial city at the right time, but today she did not come back alone, the princess and the future concubine Qiu Jingxuan waved goodbye under the city gate, and the palace people chattered for a while.

And at this hour, the emperor and queen who were far away in Pingshan had just returned from the mountains, Min'er was wearing a light skirt, her hair was wrapped in a turban, her apron stretched out her slender waist, and even Xiang Ye changed into ordinary coarse cloth clothes.

Min'er Dao is full of branches and leaves in the mountains, and it is too wasteful to cut the silk brocade, she likes to go into the mountains every day to see what wild vegetables and mushrooms there are, so she tosses this outfit for the emperor.

At first, Xiang Ye was a little unaccustomed to it, but after a day or two, she fell in love with the life of this idle cloud and wild crane, but Min'er knew very well that such a day could only be pleasant and not greedy, and she didn't want to be a lazy and depraved person.

At this time, they returned, and the letter from the capital was also delivered, and the emperor stood under the eaves, looking at the dim sunset, Min'er came with a candle and sneered: "The eyes have long been spent, and they are still strong." ”

His vision suddenly brightened, Xiang Ye only felt that he suddenly became brighter, and the meaning between the lines was immediately understood, so he took the candle and turned to the desk, and wrote a reply neatly.

Min'er asked: "Who is this letter for, Shen Zhe is here, and there are still people in the capital who are worthy of the emperor's own letter?" ”

Xiang Ye said: "Even Shen Zhe is here, if I have no one to trust in Beijing, how can I get it?" ”

Min'er didn't ask anymore and went to change her clothes by herself, but soon the emperor came and said, "Qiu Jingxuan has returned to Beijing." ”

"So what?"

"My daughter's business ......" Xiang Ye paused, and said clearly, "Since you are not optimistic about Qiu Jingxuan at all, and you put him in a hostile position, why do you let your daughter try any feelings, why let her be hurt?" ”

"How could I let my children be hurt." Min'er said solemnly, "If she lives up to your expectations and falls stupidly in the love network, I will naturally take action before she is hurt." But Yuanyuan is not stupid, Your Majesty, don't you want to wait and see? ”

Xiang Ye frowned, and Min'er Yun said lightly: "What's more, maybe Qiu Jingxuan can rein in the precipice for him." ”

The emperor didn't say anything more, but went back to write a new letter, and then ordered someone to send the letter, but when he turned around, he saw Min'er looking at him and asked: "Summer is coming, I want to go back to Beijing to hold a ceremony for Qin'er, what is the emperor's plan?"
